The bottom of the fissure of Rolando sharplybounds the motor area behind and it extends forward not to exceed thewidth of the precentral Fig. 68.—Functional areas of tine mesial surface of the left hemisphere (after Campbell). At the branching of the fissure of Sylvius motions of the tongue andplatysma are found, and immediately above them the muscles of the face,first the lower, then the upper face parts.
